dear Olimex, is there a plan (and a timeline) for availability of images for Debian 12 (Bookworm) for A20 boards?
(I have a A20-OLinuXino-LIME ).
Thanks. a.
For what it's worth it, I'm now running Bookworm from generic debian on Lime2 for over a year and it's rock stable. May not support all olimex nitty gritties on the board but it works for me running a fileserver (1T SSD) on one server, one server with BackupPC and one with Homeassistant.
Armbian also has "unsupported"
bookworm based image (https://www.armbian.com/olimex-lime-2/) for Lime2 with kernel version currently 6.12.
It seems that there are Olimex bookworm images now:
https://images.olimex.com/release/a20/
It also seems that they contain only the old kernel versions from Bullseye:
https://repository.olimex.com/dists/bookworm/main/binary-armhf/Packages
How secure are those old kernels?
